FengGui looks a little too top-heavy for an important project.

Something like cad, sure, but no games. Not in my opinion anyway.

Its nothing over complicated to make your own.

I have my own. That way, you can be sure it isn't bloated, and overkill for your purposes.

I think thats more or less the same as a projected texture.

I think a few games already do this.

Still, I understand when something need not be perfect.
The maps I will be making will very rarely have a sharp, irregular ground anyway.

One other option could be to just use a Light! A nice green, or red light positioned at the point
where the ring would be might be nice. Could een be used in conjunction, to draw your eye away slightly.

And with bloom, I bet it looks amazing!:)
I'd be interested to see bloom in Paradroidz personally

Yes, it is remarkable. I did not realise it was in such working order.

I am now working on the player selection plane that appears below a selected player:)

You may consider to shoot just one ray into the ground and let the collision listener return the polygon id of the hit polygon. With this, you can ask the PolygonManager for that polygon's normal and adjust the selection plane accordingly. Without doing anything else, there won't be a smooth transition between polygons with different normals of course. But maybe that's not a problem or you can add some interpolation to it. But it will save you from shooting multiple rays into the ground.

That is an infinitely more efficient method:). It will never be perfect.
The only way it would work optimally, is if there was a way to "project" the image onto the ground,
like a shadow.
This, however, probably means multitexturing, and would cause trouble, when software mode is used.

That is pretty damned good!:)

It gives you everything in object space.

You would need to convert the vertex vectors into world space, and compare them
against the other model using a ray, or something like that:).
